LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 89
Chapter 98: Is It Really Happening?
In the end, Ji Suying offered Zhao Gou a substantial reward.
As compensation for taking care of Liu Shunyi.
And Zhao Gou confidently patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry! With me, Zhao Gou, around, Liu Shunyi will be just fine.”
With Zhao Gou’s guarantee, Ji Suying left feeling somewhat assured.
Even though Zhao Gou’s reputation had changed, he was still the Zhao Gou who stood by his word.
That much hadn’t changed.
However, once Ji Suying was out of sight, Zhao Gou hurried to find Liu Shunyi.
Why?
He needed to return the stuff Ji Suying had given him to Liu Shunyi.
What a joke!
His duty was to take care of Liu Shunyi?
He was more likely to need Liu Shunyi taking care of him!
Plus, after coming back from the Heavenly God Sect, Zhao Gou felt a bit rattled. It had dawned on him that he wasn’t actually an enemy of Liu Shunyi.
Zhao Gou’s medical skills were completely useless against Liu Shunyi.
To put it another way—
If he were to fight Liu Shunyi, Liu could easily ignore his tricks, or even worse, wipe him out in a flash.
Even if he couldn’t kill him, Liu Shunyi could still drain his blood and refine his soul.
Turning him into Liu Shunyi’s personal cultivation tool!
What the heck.
Just the thought of it sent chills down Zhao Gou’s spine.
Good thing Liu Shunyi was his brother, and he was actually quite nice to him.
Finding a brother like this, one who was willing to play the bad guy while Zhao Gou played the good one, was no easy feat.
Zhao Gou rushed to Liu Shunyi’s place.
As soon as he reached Liu Shunyi’s courtyard, he tossed the storage bag at him.
“What’s this?”
Liu Shunyi asked, slightly puzzled as he caught the storage bag.
Zhao Gou chuckled, “It’s the fee from Fairy Suying for me to look after you.”
Liu Shunyi threw the storage bag back at Zhao Gou.
“Well, I guess I’ll be counting on Elder Zhao Gou a lot from now on.”
Zhao Gou felt speechless.
“Don’t tease me! But actually, there’s something I want to ask you!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“What is it? Go ahead!”
Zhao Gou looked seriously at Liu Shunyi.
“Can you make someone explode out of nowhere?”
Liu Shunyi, without a hint of embarrassment, replied, “How could that be possible? If I had such skills, wouldn’t I be a god by now?”
Zhao Gou fell silent.
That reasoning had some merit.
“But you can pump blood out of someone just like that!”
Liu Shunyi sighed.
“Even if I could drain someone’s blood dry, all I’d get is a dried husk; how could I make someone explode out of nowhere!”
Suddenly, Zhao Gou remembered something.
“I once treated someone. Or rather, I didn’t treat him. I just touched him a bit, and he turned into a dried corpse!”
Saying that, Zhao Gou locked his eyes on Liu Shunyi.
Liu Shunyi shrugged.
“Draining blood from thin air relies on my innate magical tool at the Golden Core stage. When you turned that guy into a dried corpse, when was that?”
Zhao Gou went quiet.
“Oh, never mind.”
After that, Zhao Gou pulled out another storage bag.
“This is from the Heavenly God Sect—no, I mean, I earned it—50 billion spiritual stones. You decide how to handle it!”
Liu Shunyi was taken aback.
“Fifty billion spiritual stones. Is being a healer that lucrative?”
Looking at the enormous sum, Liu Shunyi thought for a moment and asked, “Why don’t you just handle the money you earned?”
Zhao Gou mulled it over.
In the end, he said, “I’ll just invest all of this in the Hall of Yama.”
Liu Shunyi blinked in surprise.
“Seriously? Do you value the Hall of Yama that much? It doesn’t seem like you.”
Zhao Gou sighed.
“Honestly, those going into the Hall of Yama are usually people who feel lost and some who are nearing their end. Though your Blood Pill and Spirit Pill are rather wicked, they still give them a glimmer of hope.”
“The line between good and evil here is blurred.”
“I was thinking, since they have a chance, why not give them these resources, let them fight for a bit, and do something good in the process?”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Alright then. Do as you see fit.”
Zhao Gou nodded.
He was about to leave when he looked at Liu Shunyi and asked, “You won’t let me go into the secret realm alone, will you?”
Liu Shunyi smiled.
“Don’t worry, you’re my brother! I won’t let you adventure alone.”
Zhao Gou nodded.
“But you better take care of me then! After all, I’m just a healer, and I’m not great at fighting!”
Liu Shunyi stayed silent for a while.
Then he said, “Actually, I’m just an alchemist. The less I fight, the better!”
Zhao Gou: “…”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
……
……
Three months passed again.
There’s less than a month until the secret realm opens.
During these three months, Lin Wudao felt like he was in a dream.
The Blood Pill and Spirit Pill that Liu Shunyi provided had some rather strange effects.
But Lin Wudao never imagined that consuming too many of those would allow the Hall of Yama to grasp a brand new technique.
Because of the overwhelming power of their souls after consuming the Spirit Pill and with the modified bodies from the Blood Pill, all the Hall of Yama members became extreme yin body cultivators.
They could even manifest soul artifacts or magical treasures.
As for their function?
Directly dispersing others’ souls and pulling their souls away.
“小主，这个章节后面还有哦，请点击下一页继续阅读，后面更精彩！”
Not only that.
Now, the Hall of Yama members could embed themselves into shadows and slip through the void.
It was like they had turned into real ghosts.
Well, not exactly.
“I only jokingly named it the Hall of Yama after seeing a story; how did it end up becoming a reality?”
Lin Wudao looked incredulous.
At that moment, Shadow Guard, who was standing next to him, wore a strange expression.
“My lord, your Reincarnation Body seems to have some connection with hell as depicted in those stories, and you even named the Hall of Yama. Is there a chance that the founding of the Hall of Yama is ordained by fate?”
Lin Wudao fell silent.
He didn’t know how much time passed.
Then, he suddenly asked, “Maybe I should research an eighteen-level hell next and establish a cycle of reincarnation?”
Shadow Guard shook his head.
“My lord, don’t think too much about it. Even if you establish it, it won’t matter because the souls our brothers pull out are just immediately consumed.”
Lin Wudao: “…”
“By the way, I thought you were gathering intel on the Angry Heaven Palace?”
Shadow Guard nodded.
“We’ve gathered the intel, but there are some small troubles. I came here with something even more important.”
Shadow Guard scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Lin Wudao: “Why don’t you just talk to the Great Yama and ask him for some more Blood Pills and Spirit Pills?”
Lin Wudao’s eyes widened.
“More?!”
At that time, Shadow Guard handed Lin Wudao a spatial ring.
Lin Wudao accepted it, took a look, and found that the resources inside were piled up like little mountains, instantly raising his suspicions.
“Aren’t we not lacking resources?”
Shadow Guard’s expression was super awkward.
“The brothers don’t want to consume the normal resources; they only want those Blood Pills and Spirit Pills. It’s ridiculous! Their extreme yin bodies can recover from any damage instantly with those pills.”
“You could say that, currently, Blood Pills and Spirit Pills have become the universal currency in the Hall of Yama.”
Lin Wudao took a deep breath.
“Connecting with Great Yama is no problem, but how’s the intel on the Angry Heaven Palace going? I can’t come back empty-handed!”
Shadow Guard whispered, “We just need one main base to wipe them out completely. Once we do, we’ll be able to fully understand the Angry Heaven Palace’s intel.”
Lin Wudao: “???”
